I have a bit of an issue with my setup that I can't seem to resolve. I was able to add networked folders from my main PC to my XBMC but now they will not seem to update. I have tried enabling update on startup and manually updating the folders, but no luck. I am using the backrow skin and I am wondering if it is somehow hiding an option I need to access in order to make this work?

Thanks for all your help, I did many searches trying to resolve this but was not able to find a solution.

After you added the folders did you set the content type?

Do you mean in XBMC or in windows?

In XBMC. After you add a source folder look down in the OSD menu. You should see the option for setting the content.

Read this before using these builds.

Thank you very much, I will check that out tonight when I get home. I love XBMC but it was bugging me to no end that I couldn't figure out a way to view my new content.

Thank you again.

I got home today and tried everything I could, the folders content was already set to movies. I tried removing the folders and then adding them again, but they still only had the movies in them that they had originally. I went through and made sure I had shared the folders correctly through SMB and that all looked good. I am sure I am missing something ridiculously simple, but I am just stumped.

I should also add that XBMC is able to scrape the folders and get the information for the movies that were there originally. I have also tried deleting the network location and then adding it from the SMB option in the add video's menu. I tried to delete the entire SMB section but it wouldn't let me (right click didn't do anything)

Turn on debug logging, run an updatelibrary, then post the log back here.

Log moved to pastebin.

I can post the whole thing if I need to, just figured this might be what you were looking for?

From looking thru the log it seems like you have some strangely named folders. For example "XVID.MIC.AC3-5.1.HQ.Hive-CM8 - Copy" In your content settings, do you have "Movies are in separate folders that match the movie title selected?". Also why is this folder being scanned for videos "smb://ALEX-PC/Utorrent Downloads/Complete Fonts - Honest/"?

I do have "Movies in separate folders that match name" selected. I will move the fonts torrent, we use torrents to move some of our graphic design stuff. So there is a smattering of that in there.
